The Quiet Ear

A groundbreaking exploration of deafness by a young award-winning poet—a memoir, a cultural history, and a call to action hailed as “insightful, bighearted [and] a transformative story for all readers” ( The New York Times Book Review ) “Beautifully complicates and expands our understanding of what deafness is . . . a book that changed how I will move through the world.”—Clint Smith, author of How the Word Is Passed “A litany to beauty beyond what is spoken. This book is an essential education.”
